A: Michael Berthold is a German computer scientist born in 1966 in Stuttgart who holds a doctorate from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and is affiliated with that institution. ### Q: Where did Michael Berthold study and work? A: He completed doctoral studies at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (1994–1997) and is affiliated with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology as a researcher. ### Q: What publications or works has he produced? A: His publications are recorded in major bibliographic databases. He appears in DBLP as b/MRBerthold and in the ACM Digital Library as author ID 81100130304, and his works are linked via library authority identifiers (ISNI, VIAF, GND, LOC). ## Why They Matter Michael Berthold’s significance is recorded through his academic credentials, institutional affiliation, and bibliographic presence. A doctorate from a major technical university (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and an affiliation with that institution place him within Germany’s research infrastructure in computer science. The indexing of his authorship in DBLP and the ACM Digital Library makes his research discoverable and citable by other researchers, educators, and practitioners; library authority records (ISNI, VIAF, GND, Library of Congress) provide persistent identifiers that support accurate attribution across catalogues and citation systems. These elements collectively ensure his contributions are integrated into the scholarly record and accessible for reuse, citation, and follow‑on research. Without these verifiable entries, locating and attributing his research reliably across databases and library systems would be more difficult, reducing the visibility and reuse of his work. ## Notable For - Holding a doctorate from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (doctoral studies 1994–1997). - Affiliation with Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, a major German technical university and research center. - Authorship recorded in DBLP (dblp_author_id: b/MRBerthold) and the ACM Digital Library (author id: 81100130304). - Presence in international library and authority files: ISNI 0000000377651576, VIAF 255370094, GND 123947162, Library of Congress n97071512. - Recognized under aliases Michael R Berthold and MR Berthold in bibliographic records. ## Body ### Early life and identity - Born in 1966 in Stuttgart, Germany. - Given name: Michael.
